Ashland rolls in this one to go to 2-0 on the year.

Sophomore Cam Davis with a 84 yard TD run. Ashland leads 56-13. Ashland is flat out loaded at the RB position.

Ashland scores on its 1st possession of the 2nd half on a short run by Braxton Jennings. That TD was set up by about a 40 yard reception by Brandon Houston. Houston has 2 TD and about 110 yards receiving tonight. Ashland 49 West Jessamine 13 3rd Q : Running clock at 8:48

42-13 halftime.

Ashland Freshman RB Maverick Ashby with a 39 yard TD run to make it 42-13. Ashby earlier scored on about a 30 yard pick 6. I’d like to know the last time an Ashland freshman had an offensive and defensive TD in the same game.

West Jessamine QB with his 2nd rushing TD, XP is good. Ashland 35 West Jessamine 13 2Q 2:47

Ashland leads 35-6 with 5:36 to go in the 2nd quarter.

Ashland rebounds from last night’s loss to Bracken County with a 92-70 win over 16th region foe Fleming County. Ashland only led 43-42 at the half.

Tomcats open the season with an easy win over the small Catholic school from Ironton.

That’s going to be a huge task, but this group of young Cats just keep getting better each week.

Ashland just keeps on rolling. The improvement this team has made since game 1 has been simply incredible.

Ashland has named Ryan Bonner as Interim Coach, replacing Jason Mays. Bonner has been an assistant coach for 8 years. Thoughts on him being named interim coach? I’m sure he’ll retain the same assistant coaches. Experienced head coach Troy Lee Thomas should be a big help for Coach Bonner. Will Ashland be seeking a big name coach to fill the job for next year, or wait to see how Bonner does this year? Should be an interesting year for the Tomcats.

Certainly sounds like it.

Congratulations to the Tomcats on the District Championship. Coach Tackett has done a great job with this very young Tomcat team.

I felt Ashland was in control of this game most of the night, but give Russell credit they hung in there and gave Ashland a huge scare there at the end. That would have been a very tough loss for Ashland. This is the closest I remember this district ever being amongst the 4 teams. If they all played each other twice there’s a good chance they would all split IMO.

Tomcats improving every week. This is a very young Ashland team. The next couple of years should be exciting times again for the Tomcat program.

Per AD Jim Conway. Congrats to Coach Tackett.

Conway was 10-13. What a performance.

From Mark Maynard. TOMCATS SINK LYON COUNTY WITH 3-POINT BARRAGE Ashland overcame a slow start by blistering the 3-point line in the second half to defeat Lyon County 87-81 Saturday night in the opening round of the King of the Bluegrass at Fairdale High School. The Tomcats rained in key 3-pointers in the fourth quarter – two from Cole Villers and another from Ethan Sellars - that put them ahead 79-75. Ashland trailed 38-20 at one point in the first half but warmed up from long distance in the second half, making 15 of 21 from behind the arc. The Tomcats hit 18 of 39 3-pointers for the game. Ashland outscored Lyon County by an astounding 37-28 in the fourth quarter. Colin Porter made four free throws and Sellars scored four points in the last three minutes to secure the win and a date in the quarterfinals with Louisville Male on Sunday night at 9. Both teams are 5-2. Lyon County shot 48.1 percent in the loss as high-scoring Travis Perry scored 32. Four scored in double figures for Ashland led by Sellars with 25 points. Villers scored 24, Porter collected 19 points and 12 assists and Zander Carter had a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds. The Tomcats starting five played all 16 minutes of the second half.

I heard Love just retired from school and has to be away for 3 months for his retirement and then he will be rehired as the HFC

Colt Phelps is another possibility I would think. He was Ashland’s OC and left after the 2020 season to become head coach at Green County. He led them to a 11-2 record this year.

From Mark Maynard WOW!!! Final score of Ashland 90, North Gwinnett 77 in Marshall County Hoopfest. Tomcats trailed by a dozen early, rallied to lead 36-35 at halftime on Ethan Sellars' buzzer-beater and then needed to outscored talented North Gwinnett 28-14 in a runaway fourth quarter. INCREDIBLE VICTORY!!! This team from Georgia was mega-talented but few teams play harder than the Tomcats, who forced plenty of turnovers (13 steals). It was like they had extra players on the floor. Sellars was named Player of the Game after scoring 34. Ashland was 9 of 30 from 3-point range and 19 of 23 free throws. Four in double figures: Zander Carter 16, Cole Villers 14 (all in second half), Colin Porter 15 and Sellars with the 34. "We just gutted that out," said Tomcat coach Jason Mays in a postgame interview with Dicky Martin. "We refused to lose. We deserved to win the game but no way we should win that game." Ashland plays Ballard Saturday night at 8:30.
